HON. HENRY KELLER.

In connection with picture of
him which can easily be recognized
from the fact that it: is properly
labeled. the Globe says of our senator:
Henry Keller is pugnacious sort
of a fellow, and it won't do to fool
with him too much. Joseph Capser
of Sank Centre, who is an old-timer,
and has been used to having things
pretty much his own way, beat KEEL
Ter for the nomination in the con-
vention. Keller didn't relish the
manner in which he had been assassi.
mated, and so he started ont as
an. independent and everlastingly
knocked the hind sights off his
opponent. Mr.. Keller has hair on
his back and it isn't safe to rub it
the wrong way. He was in the
army for three years, too. and can
hit the bulls eye every time at 1,OOO
yards with an old army musket.

KEEP IT AT HOME.

There is very little, valid reason
at this time to send money abroad
for the purchase Of any desired
commodity. Our merchants not
only have the enterprise to meet
every reasonable want of their
patrons, but they offer their goods
at fair and reasonable profit, which
is only. just remuneration for
the capital and labor employed and
,. the risks which, are incident to all
business. Even il disposed to exact
exorbitant profits, which they are
not. the active competition among
them would preclude it. If an
unwarranted gam accrued to one Of
them in buying and selling any par.
ticular article or line Of goods, 1t
would stimulate others to deal in
the same commodity and this COM
petition would inevitably lead of
the reduction of the profit to a
reasonable rate. This is law to
trade which can not he over-ridden.
Catalogues, circulars, illustrated
price lists and soliciting statesmen
may represent certain goods offered
by merchants or tradesmen of st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago or New
York, to be much cheaper than they
are offered here--at cost Of produc.
ton, or rarest4 bargains in job lots,
or something or anything to entrap
customers. Stop, for moment and
consider. These goods so offered,
you have never seen, and everyone
knows that goods under almost any
name are Of various qualities. Rest
assured that you are at great risk of
procuring inferior wares. A dollar
is worth one hundred cents, and he
who offers it for less, never intends
to falill his promise. He is not
doing business for pleasure, and you
must Fay him profit on the bust
ness, you DO with him.
How much better, then, that your
money be expended here, left In cir
culation in this community that it
be paid out to one whom you know
to have won fair name and good
business reputation who helps pay
your taxes TO educate your children
and contributes to the general well
fare.
This principal holds true through.
out every branch Of business. Pat
ronize home interests, home enter
prises and home industries. Buy of
those whose interests are Identical
with your own. Employ men who
are making their homes with you
or who are intending to become CO.
operators with you in the up.build-
ing of the community in which you
are directly interested. BY doing
this you are adding directly to your
own interests. BY fostering home
capital and home labor you add to
the aggregate wealth of your town,
your school district and your county,
and the money so expended will in
time reach you again.
And, further, encourage legitimate
business by withholding patronage
from that which is not so. Do not
look to the grocer for drugs, the
butcher for dry-goods, the shoe
maker for medicines or the farmer
for printing. If he offers wares or
services out of his line rest assured
he will furnish an inferior quality.
1t is not legitimate business,

There is one failure of the railroad
situation the legislature should take
under advisement. and compel differ
emit lines of railroads which cross or in
tersect to provide facilities for trans.
fering cars from one road to the 9th.

BILE way for Manitoba car to get

uice uersa. Any one desiring to ship
car load from Melrose to Westport,
for example, distance Of a dozen
miles, would be compelled to send
the car around by st. Paul, or pay
for unloading. draying across town
and reloading. An interchange of
business at common points should be
insisted upon.

amount to bat 81 per cent. of those
held year ago. Wool is dull.

During the last week the Treasury

outstanding has increased CORES
